A quote, not an estimate
Most decorators give you an estimate: a rough number after a visit, sometimes days later, that can grow once the job starts. Your PaintMyWalls quote is a fixed price against the details you give us. It only changes if you add work, if your measurements were materially out, or if we uncover something hidden such as damp or damaged plaster, and in every case we agree it with you before doing anything. Why this matters: day rate vs fixed price.
What is included in every quote
- Premium trade paint: Johnstone's Trade as standard, Dulux Trade and Dulux Heritage as upgrades.
- Full preparation: filling, caulking, sanding and priming.
- Protection: furniture moved and covered, floors sheeted, tidy every day.
- Free colour consultation and our water-based woodwork system on jobs with woodwork.
- Guarantees: written workmanship warranty, £2m public liability insurance, Checkatrade Guarantee.
